This bridge-like structure that will hug the eastern side of the Schuylkill River and connect the Schuylkill Banks trail that currently ends in the vicinity of Christian Street all the way to the Gray’s Ferry Crescent trail and park.

The Circuit blossomed out of the first TIGER grant the region received in 2010 to build the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk, Connector Bridge and nine other trail projects in Philadelphia and Camden. A second grant was received for the Gray’s Ferry Swing Bridge in 2015.

Closing this gap will make an incredible connection between Delaware County, SW Philadelphia, Bartram’s Garden and Center City, Northwest Philadelphia and Montgomery County.

Creating a bicycle-pedestrian high quality trail between Bartram’s Garden, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Valley Forge will set Greater Philadelphia apart as having a world class green transportation and recreation network. The goal of reaching 500 miles of Circuit Trails by 2025 just got one step closer.
